Exploring plus size Clothes & Happy rains !!!

I think there are very limited options for  curvy girls in India when it comes to dressing up in style.
Things being slightly better for the fashion capitals of Mumbai , Delhi and Bengaluru.
I being a Mumbai girl can always have my hands on the street shops of Lokhandwala and Bandra , but as per my experience of other cities , i had to settle for loose kurtas or baggy T shirts , many times not even a denim but a track pant and if you dream yourself in a cute singlet well i must say you are on "Mission Impossible".
Yes of course there is the magic wand of online shopping , but the shipping charges plus time , plus the thought of swiping my credit card , would make any indian think twice , yes we are getting used to it but there is this natural hesitance , huh i can't help.
Anyways enough of my rant , now the good news is that there are a few brands that we girls can exclusively play patrons to , and yes I am not talking about maternity clothing brands , oopps hehehe.

So one of the few elfs that work exclusively to serve us curvy beauties are

The good thing is that these brands are also available at :

so you can pick up a pretty top or dress or jeans at your nearest mall. :)
So here is what I picked up from All and the good news is they are all up for grabs at 50% off.

I am a huge fan of plum , i think its not as goth as black and not as loud as pink , but by the end of it who cares if its loud when its PINK right ?

Simply love the attached floral jacket , it plays hide and seek with just the right places ;)

Sexy Back isn't it ?

Trying to pose all shy and coy but massive failure can't hide my smile that's dying to burst into monstrous laughter, ee haw haw haw !

Well at-last i prove that i am a natural poser 

Oh and do you notice something here ?

A girl this happy has to splash in the rain and what better accessory than these street shopped hot pink rain flops with a bright blue bow , needless to say I hoarded on all the attention , these are dope !

So I had fun shopping at All , specially in this SALE season , I'll pretty soon share more of my finds with you guys .

Princess love to all

Learning what to POP & when to STOP

Wow I never expected so much of love support and acceptance , when i  first gathered the guts to share my fears & thoughts on this blog , no words would envelope the gratitude i have in my heart for every like , every comment and every view i got , still all i can say is a heartfelt THANK YOU .

I wanted to celebrate this new found confidence and belief in self and what better way to celebrate for a foodie than FOOD and anyways all the torture that i did to myself all these years playing the perfect self critic , i believe i truly deserved it .
So yesterday was a celebration night for Miss chubby pie and her special man , lets call him Mr. P for perfect.
We went for a romantic candle night all you can eat buffet at GLOBAL FUSION Bandra.

This place is a dream come true for any food lover , from sushi to salads to dumplings to fries to Thai , Malay Chinese and Indian spread of  all possible delicacies.

Earlier i would go crazy at such places , there would be   a "Bad Romance" between the food and me , I would gag down the last bit of that berry cheese cake till i felt sick enough to throw up and break up with my darling cake for the night.

But today it was different , it wasn't the compulsive possessiveness for food anymore but more like an ethereal fairy tale love , i saw the spread , the entire spread  ,romanced every bit of the detail with my eyes , balled in the aroma and took a thoughtful portion in my plate , today even a tiny bite of the fried chicken was enough to satisfy my fry fetish frenzy.

I ate less and enjoyed more , this was a unique experience i never had before , every bit that i took in was with total acceptance from my whole being , there were no multiple voices in my head dictating me to not eat or just hog on and later pressing me down with guilt .
For the first time I played this wonderful game of "what to pop and when to stop " with my food and I realized that it was the comfort of love and acceptance i was seeking all this while in my food , it was not the addiction to fried but the addiction to self pity and criticism that had kept this princess enslaved in an ogre's den.
I love myself and i totally accept myself , i love my curves and my flabs and i can hear them say that they love me back too and are ready to co operate in orchestrating the wonderful me i always was.

Princess Love to all
Mwah !

CritiSIZE Accept and LOVE

I am putting out my thoughts with great courage , i still feel the fear of being judged and finally preached : How bad it is to be FAT and how i should have been careful and not done what i did to be what I am today.

But I am going to write this blog anyways , because its not about the outside noise anymore but about what truly matters to me.

"I think I am a pretty chubby wubby girl , who loves Food and Fashion".

For a break I just want to be who I am now , yes I am overweight and i am trying to train myself into a healthier lifestyle , but i am not going to bog myself down anymore with what family , friends or people want me to be. Yes no doubt they all mean well and i truly appreciate it ,and by no means do i support or profess an unhealthy lifestyle but this constant preaching of how FAT is bad for me and how much better i can be once i loose weight is not letting me enjoy my present moment the way it was meant to be.
So today after another long phone call full of
you need to loose weight
join a gymn
don't eat out
just 3 months to your wedding

 I felt drained , bitter and angry and like most of the chub-kins sailing in my boat i thought that my life is the most miserable in the world ( I know that's not true) but that's what i thought.So i again opened a bag of my trusty friend Lay's masala and popped a big one in my mouth , Ah the dance the spices did on my tongue instantly made me feel better and with that crunchy munch i almost forgot the conversation , halfway down the bag of chips and already reaching out for my TV  remote now ,I asked myself a rhetorical question " Why are you doing this to yourself ?"

Well like always I din't have an answer , only a silent discomfort within,  that needed acceptance and Love .
So i dumped Mr. Lay's and headed out for a walk , trying to understand what is it that's holding me from adopting a healthy lifestyle and finally making the big dreams come true.

Well for sure the answer is simpler than i wanted to hear , its lack of self love , yes i know its written on almost every fat girl's blog who has ever overcome the pounds so in that way I don't really have anything new to say.
But i know that Acceptance is the first step towards change and i have made peace with my weight and my curves. Now before i decide to hit a gymn , i am going to show some love and acceptance to the inner me that has been tormented all these years not by the criticism it got from others but the constant criticism and comparison inside. I have realized that its truly not the judgement of others that hurt me but my ignorance to my own self that caused me all this pain.
So step 1 to feeling better
Buying some awesome clothes that are fashionable and look good on me , no more baggy Tshirts and kurtas.
After all every girl is a princess and she deserves to be treated well.

Mwah Princess !
